So hitchhikers guide I can certainly agree with, but the rest of the series is pretty inconsistent. Restaurant was pretty terrible in my opinion, but then Life is almost as good as the original. I'd say the quality of the series is dow

Instead of directly trading oil barrel options or futures, I'd suggest picking a long etf tracker. It's much lower risk to achieve the same goal.

I believe it's more to bankrupt Alberta's oil sands. US shale is barely a competitor on a global scale.

It's not that changing output levels is too expensive, it's that shutting down/starting up is too expensive. The fixed costs are so high that it's far cheaper to produce at a loss (and stockpile if needed) than to shut d

Anyone know how this compares to iris? (iris is faster than gin and has a truckload of examples, not sure why it's less popular). https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/master/README.md

I've looked before, but I've never seen a class dedicated to practical algorithm design. Being able to reason about cache layout, context switch costs, branch prediction behavior, simd refactoring, and basic compiler level optimiz

Oh, maybe my idea of "technical" is too narrow. From a typical book perspective it's very technical. I meant it more from a textbook perspective. Code isn't a book you use to teach, or to learn concepts in detail. You co

I send jobs to HPC systems on a daily basis at work. This website fails miserably to capture me as a potential customer. The cray name has plenty of baggage, but that doesn't give this language value. I do not currently work in the sta

That isn't startup world wisdom, it's just "how to sell x". You don't get users, or maintainers, without a sales pitch. But I actually do work with HPC on occasion, and I don't work with cray technologies. I&#x

Surely anyone who works on this project could tell me why it exists, why it's better than rolling slurm/bash scripts. That feels like a bare minimum sales pitch. Instead the homepage is essentially buzzwords with links to watch th

Code: the hidden language of computer hardware and software, by Charles Petzold. It's a modern classic (2000). It's less technical and more about the history behind the idea/theories of coding itself. It also explains some ba

Why do so few of these small programming language projects have a "why x?" section? How do they expect to gain marketshare if they aren't frontloading their value? This is a fairly old project and yet they've never taken

I love that the author's final "gotcha" isn't even domain specific. It's a hard limit on recursion, just like all modern debuggers and most other formatting tools. It's crazy to me that they even tried to suppo

Yes, of course they do. Most governments probably run some tor nodes. The privacy gamble is that you only have privacy if the entrance node and exit nodes are controlled by different operators.

Because it's horrendously inefficient to bounce your traffic all over the place. Most people won't trade a 10x slowdown for abstract privacy gains.

I'm guessing based on the other reply that you corrected the date. But how does WHO repeating a statement from Chinese authorities (attributed in the tweet) have anything to do with the WHO's credibility?

What does this specifically have to do with videoconferencing? As far as I can tell, this is a general cross platform application framework. If that's the case, what is the value proposition vs something like the current dot net stack?

There's benefit when working in low-security environments. A custom crypto model will make your process harder to understand by a reverse engineer. This adds some security by obscurity, but almost certainly weakens actual security. Let

Actually right now it's around $22. Which is uncomfortably close to the break even for most major Canadian oil extraction. It may even be below cost for some of them since the exact numbers are considered competitive secrets. Alberta&#
